Light painting workshop with Peter Soleness

As a photographer, I believe that continually learning and trying new ideas is integral to keeping your creativity alive and honing your skills.

Last Friday night I participated in a FANTASTIC light painting workshop. Peter Solness is an award winning photographer who excels in this area of photography – he truly is the master!

The workshop was held in Centennial Park Sydney. We practised inside painting flowers with different lighting effects, then outside to paint some tree’s and statues. I loved it and plan to try a lot more of this technique in the future.
